It certainly wasn't this one. The price went from $14.99 to $32.05

That is close to Tor UK's standard price in Australia!

I think it is a compilation of several books. However, you can buy it directly from Simon & Schuster for $14.99.

But as the author died on 21 December 1940 (Exactly 72 years before the end of the world ), it's been out of copyright in life+70 countries since 1st January 2011, and in life+50 countries (like Canada) since 1st January 1991.

Don't think many other people are stupid enough to, no, given the sales ranks. Not when you can get an American version or the identical UK version with a different address for 1/4 or 1/3 the price. |

In the US it's cover under the 1998 Sonny Bono copyright extension act which is what extends things to 2021. Not sure about someplace like the UK, would it be a straight life plus 70 or do they have agreements that recognise the longer copyright in the US? IIRC we won't see anything new enter the PD in the US until around 2019 or something like that.

Some countries follow the rule of the shorter term, where foreign items fall out of copyright when they become public domain in their home (foreign) country, even if they would still be in copyright if by a native author. |

Yes, it's a reprint of the first 4 titles. The fifth published separately is $8.00. That may be how they came up with $32.00 but it was $14.99 during Agency pricing. Last edited by Fbone; 12-12-2012 at 12:15 PM. |

No, that's not their logic. They're applying a discount of 27% to the current print list price ($43.99, since it's a POD, not offset).
